Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1672709 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Must be hood connector with side entry configuration
• Size Designation: D15 connector size requirement
• Thread Interface: PG16 thread size for mechanical compatibility
• Series Compatibility: HEAVYCON® D series
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C range
• Housing Material: Aluminum die cast construction
• Ingress Protection: Minimum IP65 rating (equal or superior protection level acceptable)

The substitute part 1424348 meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while providing enhanced ingress protection (IP66/IP67) and additional corrosion resistance features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1424348 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1672709. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces (D15 size, PG16 thread, side entry configuration) and thermal operating ranges. The 1424348 provides enhanced environmental protection through IP66/IP67 rating and includes salt water resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring superior ingress protection compared to the original IP65 specification.

The 1424348 maintains active product status with Phoenix Contact, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Selection of the 1424348 is appropriate for new installations and replacement scenarios where the enhanced protection rating does not conflict with existing system specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1424348 directly replace the 1672709 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical D15 connector size, PG16 thread interface, side entry configuration, and HEAVYCON® D series compatibility. The mechanical mounting and electrical interface are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between IP65 and IP66/IP67 ratings?

A: IP65 provides dust tight and water resistant protection. IP66/IP67 provides dust tight protection and enhanced water resistance (IP66) or waterproof capability (IP67). The 1424348 offers equal or superior environmental protection in all conditions where the 1672709 was specified.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within manufacturing tolerances. The 1672709 measures 63.00mm L × 29.50mm W × 66.00mm H, while the 1424348 measures 64.60mm L × 30.00mm W × 68.00mm H. These differences fall within standard mechanical compatibility ranges for hood connector applications.

Q: What is the significance of the salt water resistance feature on the 1424348?

A: Salt water resistance indicates enhanced corrosion protection for marine and coastal applications. This feature provides additional durability in high-corrosion environments but does not affect compatibility with standard industrial applications.

Q: Why is the 1672709 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturer discontinuation decisions based on market demand and product line consolidation. The 1424348 represents the current active equivalent within the HEAVYCON® D series.
